Missouri State Dept. of Elementary and Secondary Education, Jefferson City.

Designed primarily for beginning teachers in Missouri public schools, this pamphlet provides a checklist of practical, common sense pointers for classroom teaching. Material is provided on seven topics, including planning before opening day, opening day, the first weeks, yearlong objectives, assistance from the principal and administrators, 10 basics of teaching, and instructional management. Each of these topics is presented in a separate section, which is subdivided into specific recommendations on procedure and activities for developing and maintaining classroom control, student rapport, and good faculty and administration relations. A bibliography concludes the pamphlet. (LP)
